The Republican leader was silent for more than 30 seconds after being asked if he will run for re-election. He froze at a news conference in July.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.

The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, “I’m fine.”

When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday, an aide came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” McConnell continued to be unresponsive.

    He’s a terrible person and when he dies may he rot in piss.

    I’d care about him going senile if him being sane wasn’t as detrimental as it was.

    Empathy is a good thing but let’s save it for the people who actually deserve it and not old ass racist pieces of shit like him
